27 ⦻ Lake Party
Your chin bounced off the top of Jason The Toymaker's head as he was carrying you around on his back, quite unwillingly. It wasn't long that the two of you, along with Sally, were trekking through the woods in the early afternoon. Sally had wanted to show you something that lay within the area, and you agreed to come along with her-Jason however was being forced to carry you after losing a small bet with KageKao the day before.
"How much longer?" Jason muttered, his voice an annoyed grumble. "How much longer of what?" You replied with a smirk.
"How much longer must I keep hauling you around on my back?"
"Until we get to the place that Sally is leading us to~"
"Oh really? And then you'll allow me to put you down?"
"I'll think about it...."
Jason groaned in annoyance and you chuckled, flicking aside a lock of his hair. "Hey (Y/N), Hey Jason! We're almost to that place I wanted to show you! I'm so excited...I didn't want to show everyone else yet because I wasn't too sure about it, but I hope that you two will like it!" Sally exclaimed as she skipped eagerly ahead, her brown hair bouncing against her back.
"Let me get this straight; you came out and found this place by yourself? Was that fool Slenderman ok with you wandering around alone?" Jason asked. "He didn't know-I snuck out on my own and found it," Sally giggled, and you gasped. "You got out without Slender knowing about it??"
"Yeah!"
You chuckle and shake your head at the girl as she laughs slyly at her own antics.
A few more steps you and the other two advance before Sally pushes through a small bush, allowing an opening for entry into another area.
"Do you expect us to fit through there?" Jason growled, stopping before the bush. "No! Just go around it," Sally called out from the other side, and Jason sighed before walking around the bush through some of the dangling vines.
You scowled as the vines drag along your face and you swipe your hands to get them out of the way. Once you're done sweeping away the vines and you blink your eyes open, you see a huge, sparkling lake spread out before you. The scenery almost looked unrealistic with its perfect clear water that reflected the blue sky above. Trees surrounded the area like a barrier, defending its beauty from the outside world.
"Wow..." You utter, your eyes soaking in the scene with awe. "Sally...how did you find this place?"
"Like I said before, I came out on my own and wandered until I ended up here! Isn't it great?"
"It's amazing."
"It's quite nice," Jason spoke, "But it's just a lake? Is there a specific reason why you're drawn to this place, Sally?"
"There is, actually," Sally said, sitting at the bank and looking into the water. "I was thinking us and the others can have something like a pool party here!"
"No...." Both you and Jason responded at the same time, making you glare down at him. Sally's cheerful expression turned to a saddened one and she looked down, her shoulders slumping. "Oh...I thought it would be a fun idea and that everyone would enjoy it..."
"It does sound fun Sally," You say softly, "but I'm not necessarily a fan of swimming..."
"But you might like it after being here, pleaseeeeeeeee...!"
"You know, you really shouldn't be pleading with me, you should be asking Slender about this," You sigh, carefully sliding off of Jason's back and walking over to Sally. "But Slendy's going to say no...." Sally muttered, her face turning to a pout.
"You don't know that. You'll have to ask him!"
"......Can you and Jason ask with me so he doesn't suspect I found this place alone...?"
You nod at her and look over to Jason who stood impatiently by one of the trees. He shrugged, and you took that as his ok, so you grin at Sally. "We'll ask Slender with you, and if he says yes, you can have your pool party."
~
"You can do whatever you want with it as long as I'm not involved."
You sigh at the obvious reply you were expecting to hear from Slenderman as you, Sally, and Jason had encountered him about the lake Sally found. However, you were surprised that he even said yes.
"This is going to be so exciting!" Sally exclaimed, jumping up and down. "We've got to tell the others-this is going to be the best pool party ever!"
"But, its a lake," Jason muttered, but Sally continued celebrating, "Fine, it's a Lake Party!"
Sally then stopped and turned to you, smiling. "Make sure you have a swimsuit and a towel and anything else you'll need...I'm going to get everyone else so we can all go together!"
"On second thought, I will get involved," Slenderman cut in, "with you idiots, something is bound to go wrong, so I'll be there to monitor everyone."
"You don't have to go if you don't want to, Slender," You reply, "maybe I....I could watch everyone!"
Slenderman scoffed at you and crossed his arms. "You really think you could keep everyone in line? I doubt half of them would listen to one word you say."
You felt heavily pissed and a bit insulted that your boss doubted your ability to take control, and it made you want to prove to him even more that you could do it. "Just watch me Slender, I can do it. I promise you, there'll be no incidents when I'm in charge," You growl, furrowing your eyebrows.
"We'll surely see. I hope you're true to your words then, (Y/N)," Slenderman replied, and you glare at him a bit before leaving his office. You head to your room and firstly grab a towel, then start thinking of what kind of swimsuit you'd wear.
You hear Sally from outside of your room, excitedly informing the others and getting people to go. You're happy that she's excited, and her enthusiasm gave you a bit more confidence in wanting to go. You quickly gather everything you would need and then head out to get swimming clothes from Trenderman.
~
You glare at all the other Creepypastas as they were all gathered together, waiting to head out to the lake place. Sally skipped up to you clad in a cute, frilly pink swimsuit and pink swim goggles strapped to her head. She held a green floatie under her arm, and her teddy bear in the other.
She looked you up and down; you were wearing a new suit you got from Trender, as well as your towel and some goggles incase you needed it. Sally smiled and took your hand, "Are you ready to go, (Y/N)?"
"Only if you are, Sal."
She nodded and pulled you to the front past everyone else. "We're ready to go everyone, just follow me and (Y/N)!" She exclaimed, leading way out the door. You turned making sure everyone was following you two, then followed close behind Sally as she headed for the lake.
Once everyone was there, they all seemed awestruck by its appearance. "How come none of us ever found this before...?" Judge Angels asked with widened eyes. "I don't know, but Sally, you have amazing finding skills," Zero said, patting Sally's head.
"I do, don't I?" Sallt said with a smug grin before running from the rest and standing at the edge of the bank, looking down into the water. You ease beside her a look in too, then at her. "Well, What are you waiting for Sal?" You say with a smile.
Sally waited a moment before screaming out, "CANNONBALL!!!" and jumped into the lake, causing you to get a decent splashing. The others, seeing that Sally was in, all run for the water and jump in past you, causing a huge wave of water to drench you over.
"Slender was right...they are idiots..." You mutter, shivering as you stood dripping water and watching the Creepypastas in the water splashing each other.
"Hah, loser," You heard someone remark from behind you, and you turn to see BEN standing there with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. "If you were smart, you would've backed away from the water before that happened, and you wouldn't have gotten wet, like me."
"Shut up, BEN. Why are you even here, I thought you hate water?" You say, shaking the water off your hands and stepping over to him. "I do. But I still wanna hang around, just for the fun of it. As long as I don't get wet, I'm good," He replied. He then pulled out and put on a pair of sunglasses before stepping back a bit and taking a seat in the grass. He took out his phone and played some music from off his playlist on a speaker, loud enough for everyone to hear.
You sigh and approach the lake again, beginning to get cold from the water already soaking your body. You stand at the edge and look down, then look at the other Creepypastas. You were about to take your time to carefully get in when something hard shoves you in the back and you go headfirst into the water, causing a huge splash.
You thrash around underwater until your head is over the top again and you gasp for breath, the water dripping down your face. You turn to where you hear faint laughing coming from the edge and you see Zero and Jeff there, pointing and laughing at you.
"Don't look at me like that, (Y/N)! You took too long to jump in!" Zero snickered, and you grumble under your breath upon feeling the eyes of the others on you.
Something light hits the top of your head and falls on top of the water; you see it's a beach ball and you pick it up. "W-Wanna play?" You turn seeing Toby swimming up to you with his arms outstretched to catch the ball; he was expecting you to throw it back.
You nod and aim the ball at his face. He catches it before it hits his face and smirks, shaking his head at you. "Trying to cause damage, eh? Well y-you asked for it..."
"Wait what? No! I was only throwing it your face for f-"
You were cut off when the ball slammed you in the face, almost causing you to fall back in the water. Toby laughs at you and you grab the ball, building up enough energy to speed slam it into his face. "Remember, I can't f-feel anything intense, so jokes on you if you're trying to hurt me."
"I'm not trying to hurt you, idiot!"
You throw the ball back at Toby again, yet he catches it again and quickly tosses it back at your face. This time, you take the ball and swim off with it in hopes to annoy Toby.
"Hey!" Toby exclaimed, but he didn't give chase as you took off with it. Once you were far from Toby, you threw it elsewhere and looked around the lake for something else to do. Everyone seemed busy already having fun playing and splashing at each other, yet you were all alone.
"I probably should've continued playing with Toby," You mutter to yourself. You sigh and put on your goggles, deciding to swim around underwater and pop up nearby one of the Creepypastas to scare them.
You plunge beneath the water and swim around to your best ability until you see the legs of where some of them were floating/standing. You smirk and randomly head for one of them, reaching out and wrapping your arms around their leg.
You hear a shriek from above the water and look up. A hand reached down and grabs you roughly by the hair, pulling you up out of the water.
"(Y/N)???"
You grin at the shocked look on Liu's face who had pulled you up. "I th-thought you were KageK-I'm sorry, (Y/N)," He stammered, "But you scared the crap out of me-!"
"That was the goal," You say, and you begin laughing while you removed your goggles from your eyes. "So Liu, do you think you'd want to help me out scaring someone else from underwater?"
"Sure, it sounds like fun."
You smirk and turn to KageKao who was sitting not to far at the edge of the lake with his legs in the water, yet he looked a bit scared. "We'll target KageKao since he's always pulling pranks on us. He told me before that he had a fear of sharks, so I have an idea...."
You grin and pull out two shark fin hats and you place one on Liu's head. "We'll go under water and grab his legs when he notices the two 'sharks' coming at him."
Liu nodded and smirked darkly at KageKao while you put on your hat. Then both of you then dove underwater and started swimming towards where KageKao sat nervously.
KageKao splashed around at the water a bit when he suddenly noticed two gray shapes moving towards him in the water. When he looked closer, he noticed what looked to be.... s h a r k s.
"eYyyYAAAAAAHHH!!!" KageKao yelped aloud and he felt his legs suddenly get grabbed from underwater. "Someone HELP MEEE!!!" KageKao cried, now getting dragged underwater. As soon as he hit the water and thrashed around in fear, you and Liu popped up, both laughing hysterically. KageKao stopped flailing and glared at the two of you, his mask slowly turning into an angry expression.
"Why you-you guys are mean! Baka!"
"We were just messing with you KageKao!" You laugh, ruffling his sopping wet hair. "You should've seen how frantic your mask looked...it was priceless!" Liu taunted. "Hahah! Very funny, JERKS." KageKao growled and swam away from you and Liu, leaving the both of you to continue laughing and everyone else staring in confusion.
You and Liu high five, then you toss him the beach ball from before so you two could play.
After not too many rounds of throwing it back and forth, you felt something hit the back of your head yet again, and you quickly turn around. You see a smiling Lazari sitting on Puppeteer's shoulders. She's got a pool noodle in hand and she was now tapping it gently against her hand.
"Wanna play noodle wars?" She asked, grinning down at you. "Why not? But don't cry when I win!" You reply, and Lazari gives you a blue noodle.
"You and Liu VS. Me and Puppeteer. First one to fall off or fall down loses!" Lazari exclaimed, and the two of them backed away from you, Puppet carrying Lazari and Lazari getting ready to strike.
"Liu, give me a lift?" You ask, and he nods, letting you get onto his back. You then hold up your 'weapon' and the two of you approach your opponents. "The war starts now!" Lazari exclaimed, and then she started by swinging her pool noodle at you.
You duck, dodging the swipe, and are able to whack Lazari on the head. "Oof, ow!" Lazari shrieked, and she tried hitting you again. You get hit in the shoulder and gave a mocking laugh. "That's all you've got Laz?"
"Just watch me! Puppeteer, get closer to them!"
Puppeteer waded a bit closer to you and Liu and Lazari stretched more to reach you. You smirk and tell Liu to back away a bit, and he did so. Lazari flailed her hand, desperately trying to hit you with her pool noodle, but she failed to land a hit. She leaned forwards to the point she went too far and she fell right off of Puppeteer's shoulders right into the water.
"Uh oh. Are you okay?" Puppeteer asked, pulling Lazari out of the water while she coughed and shook her head. "I'm fine! It's too bad (Y/N) and Liu got me to fall off by furthering herself from us..."
"Good game, Lazari," Liu said, and you nodded in agreement, hopping off his back and into the water. "I'm going to win next time though, okay?" Lazari stated, climbing back on Puppeteer's back, "just make sure you'll be ready to get beat!"
You chuckled and watched as Lazari and Puppeteer turned and left, hoping to find other pastas to challenge to their game.
"So, What now?" Liu asked, and you looked around the lake for anything else. "I don't know. How about we just swim around an-"
"Marco! Ma-aHH!"
You turn when you felt someone running into you and saw Shadow floating there, rubbing his forehead. "Watch where you're going, (Y/N)!"
"I was here first, punk. What're you doing anyways?"
"Marco-Polo, I'm trying to find Jane but it's harder to get to her with the size of this lake."
You then got an idea and smirked , rubbing your hands together. "Care to make your game more interesting then? How about me and Liu join you and then the three of us could search for her together?"
"We might have a better chance of catching her then," Liu added, nodding his head. Shadow shrugged and closed his eyes again, "Sure, but remember, you've gotta keep your eyes closed the whole time. And try not to run into anyone else."
With that, he shouted out "Marco!" again, and started wading off. You heard Jane's reply not much far away shouting "Polo!" and you close your eyes, turning in that direction.
"You heard her too, right (Y/N)?" You heard Liu question, and you simply nod your head, forgetting that he too was playing with his eyes closed.
You heard Shadow call out again, and this time Jane's reply was a lot closer. "I don't think she knows we're playing, so that's an advantage," You snickered, starting to push faster through the water towards Jane.
Jane had called out again and this time you knew you had her in your reach.
"Let's get her!" Liu hissed, and together the both of you start diving forwards in Jane's path. You feel the presence of someone close to you and you quickly grab their arm laughing and opening your eyes.
"Hahah! Jane, I've....got...you...? EJ?"
Jack looked back down at you with a confused expression and you turned to see Jane beside him, her arms crossed and a wide smirk on her face.
"Nice try, (Y/N)~"
Liu pop up from nearby and glanced at Jane in puzzlement. "How did you know we were coming for you?"
"How could I not? You two were splashing towards me louder than the combination of everyone here talking. I knew you were up to something with Mr. Link over there..."
You both glance across the lake and see Shadow in the position of a facepalm, shaking his head in frustration. Liu sighed and shrugged, "At least it was fun while it lasted."
"That's great and all, but why'd you have to make me grab EJ?" You mutter, letting go of his arm. "Oh boy, looks like someone's not happy to see me," EJ scoffed sarcastically, crossing his arms. "Who better to switch places with for you to run into than your soulmate~?" Jane chuckled grinning at you.
"...Dude...he's not my soulmate...." You mutter, narrowing your eyes and one of your eyes twitching. Jane snickered and began to swim off from you two, heading off to where Shadow was. Once she was gone, Jack looked at you and sighed, then scratching his head, "Want to find something to do?"
"Sounds good to me, I guess," You reply with a shrug, and two of you began to float around together. It wasn't even far you two could get before a massive wave of water was suddenly dumped over Jack's head; you being spared by the hit for some reason.
You backed away in shock and Jack turned in anger towards the bank of the lake where you see BEN holding a huge bucket in hand. "Hey Jack. Stay away from my girl!" BEN shouted, smirking as he shook the bucket tauntingly.
"Fuck off, BEN!" Jack shouted, splashing water in BEN's direction. BEN quickly dodged the water and ran off before Jack could get him again. You tried hard not to laugh at Jack, and he turned to you with an unamused look. "Hahah, very funny."
You snicker and cross your arms, "Don't worry Jack, the only girl BEN's ever gonna get is probably a female pikachu on one of his Pokémon video games."
Jack shrugs and chuckles a bit while nodding. The two of you were starting to get look around again when Jack suddenly gets hit with another wave of water. You both hear the pitched laughter of BEN arise from the bank, and Jack growls , starting to head for him.
"I'll be back, (Y/N), just let me take care of this little shit first!" He hissed, darting out of the water and running after BEN. You sighed, watching him run off and figure maybe you would just spend the rest of the time with Sally, since everyone else looked to be having their own fun.
You swim over to where Sally was near the shallow side, dancing a bit in the water to the music that was playing from BEN's phone. You smile at her having fun and begin to float around near her.
"(Y/N), I'm having so much fun! I'm so glad we get to play here!" Sally cried, smiling as she saw you coming. "Thanks to your finding skills. We couldn't have gotten here without you," You respond," smiling back at her. You then grab a floating board that was easing up nearby and pull yourself onto it, then paddling and floating around Sally while she danced.
You then hear your favorite song of all time start playing on BEN's phone and your eyes widen in excitement. You start head nodding and jamming out to the song, and Sally watched you with a grin, "Is that your favorite song (Y/N)?"
You flash your hand a rock pose at her and she then giggled, beginning to jam out with you. After a bit, you feel something bump into you and someone swims up from under your arm and you see it's KageKao. You then feel your other arm being tugged by someone and you see Former.
"What are friends listening to?" The KageKao asked, startling you with the expression on his face. "Uhh.... (F/S)..." You reply, wondering why he swam under your arm and why Former had your other. "(F/S)? Nah, you should listen to my favorite songs!"
"It isn't my phone playing the music, ask BEN."
"OR, we can change the playlist while BEN isn't here~"
You sigh and shake your head, then mutter, "Do whatever you want, but leave me out of it. I don't want any trouble with anyone today."
Kagekao's mask formed a grin and he and quickly swam away from you towards the lakeside where BEN's stuff was. (Y/N) watched him for a bit then turned to Former who still had her arm, questioningly. "And what do you want? Aren't you going to follow Kage around like always?"
Former grinned and shook his head, "Of course. But Former just wanted to tell (Y/N) she looks really pretty in her swimsuit."
"Uhh...." You respond, weirdly. "Thanks...?"
Former nodded and slowly let go of you arm before going to where KageKao was. Sally looks at the boys with curiosity and paddles over to them, wanting to get in on what they were doing with BEN's phone.
You watch them while wading in the water for a bit, and soon see BEN return to his spot and begin yelling at the three for messing with his stuff. You chuckle at this and begin to swimming towards them.
"I only wanted to see what KageKao and Former were gonna play! It wasn't my fault!" Sally whined. "Sally-chan?!? Why are you blaming
